New applications of bioultrasonics

Bioultrasonics (BUS), a new concept of combining bioelectricity and ultrasonic (US) technology is demonstrated in this work. A feasibility study of the BUS stimulation for aquaculture fish was conducted and a higher survival rate of several fishes from the BUS-stimulated group was obtained. The BUS stimulation is demonstrated to be effective for a high growth rate of bone and a high survival rate for living fishes. Three BUS research phases are introduced, including Phase I: Plants and fishes, Phase II: Small mammals, and Phase III: Mankind, and the tasks in each phase are proposed. The BUS technology may contribute to the development of new applications of piezoelectricity, US, and biotechnology, and it could help to solve world food shortage and create a new exponential medicine area for healthcare in the future.
